The prom must go on â even if it means crossing the state line to make it possible.
And thatâs what groups of parents and other volunteers are doing for this yearâs high school juniors and seniors. Virginia pandemic restrictions still donât allow indoor gatherings big enough for proms, but North Carolinaâs do.
The first of the parent-led proms, not affiliated with any school, is the prom for Patrick County students. It will be Saturday at Lunaâs Trail Farm & Event Center in Westfield, N.C., about half an hour southwest of Stuart.
The Bengal Bassett Community Prom, billed as âa community prom for juniors and seniors attending Bassett High School,â will be May 2, at Wright Memorial Center in Eden, N.C. Tickets are $15 per student.
